Once Upon a Princess Cartridge!!

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a little girl who LOVED to make crafts.

One day, she was given the most incredible gift for her 16th birthday. It was a shiny PINK Cricut Expression. Wow! The things she could do with this machine.

She told all of her friends about it and soon the entire kingdom was abuzz with this FABULOUS paper cutting device.

She could make invitations for all of the Palace Balls and even send cards to all the Princes in the land, although she preferred to make cards for the other Princesses.

One day, when she was taking a walk in the Palace Gardens, an evil villain took her Expression she called "Pinkie". When she returned she was heartbroken to find it missing. "What can I do?" She asked her mother the Queen. "I am lost without it."

The next day she was riding a stallion from the Palace Stables. She noticed, about a mile from the castle, that there were pieces of cardstock all over the ground. She followed them until they ended at the base of a tree. She got off of her horse, and walked up to the trunk. She pushed on it ever so lightly and it opened up. The view she saw was BREATH-TAKING. There sitting in a special room carved out of the tree, were all of her princess friends CRICUTING away!!

After she caught her breath she was able to simply ask them, "What are you girls doing?"

They all gasped at one time and then said in unison, "SURPRISE"!!!! They were making her some new dresses out of paper for the upcoming ball. She couldn't have been more shocked. What good friends she had, even if they did steal her most prized possession.

In the end all was wonderful and she lived.........

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

OMG! This is the 2nd time this morning I've been the 1st commenter. Since we're going to Disney Saturday and again in October I would love to have this cartridge for my princess pictures and to add a bit of magic to my magical Disney layouts.

Wonderful story.I would use this cartridge to make cards for Operation Write Home. These cards would be perfect for our troops to send home to their daughter's or their wives. Thank you for the chance to winCeleste

Oh My dear princess Robin, Great story! I love to make paperdolls out of magnent sheets and let the grandkids play with them on the fridge. I could also do this with this cartridge. Thanks for the chance to win....Anne mrs a burgess at msn dot com

Robyn, what a great storyteller you are! I so want this cartridge just not in the budget yet. As for what I like doing with my cricut, I like creating cards and other crafty things that make others happy. I just finished up a cheery paper bouquet I am giving my mom for her birthday. Thanks for the opportunity to win this fantastic cartridge.

I love your giveaway's Robyn. Something that I'd do with the cartridges I have made several games for the special needs children and they love it when they have characters to look at instead of the plain white cards with words or shapes that they need to learn. Again thank you so much for the opportunity.

Oh my gosh!!! I have been wanting this cartridge since it came out. This is so awesome.... The thing that I like best about my Cricut is that I can do so many things for my friends and family. I can help my kids with school projects. I have Indie Art and thought what will I ever do with a mushroom cloud cut???? Guess whose son had a project on the atomic bomb this year? I love that I can make pretty cards and projects to show my family that I love them. So much more personal than buying a card! I sooooo need this cartridge. My baby nieces would love it! Thanks, Robin. Have a blessed day.

My 5 year old Alyssa is a Princess Fan! I would love to make paper dolls, notebooks, and bookmarks for her. This cart. would also make the cutest scrapbook pages for her Princess Birthdays. She has had 3 already. Thanks Robyn!

Oh I would love OUAP. I would make great layouts for a family who just lost their sweet baby girl. I have been working on layouts for it and keep thinking of I wish I had UOAP for some of these. If you want to see about layla check out this site www.laylagrace.org

Ahhh -- such an adorable story! I have to little "princesses" (granddaughters) -- one is 7 the other just turned 1. I would love to make princess cards and decorations for them! I just finished a project for the 7 year old -- an IKEA frame with fairy/princess fabric behind the glass and her name in vinyl on the outside! I plan on using the same fabric to make a quilt for her as well.

Well, there are so many things to do with the cricut. I origanally bought to do cake stuff, but now I do scrabooking and cardmaking. I might even get brave enough to do home decor. The possiblities are so dreammy!!!

Oh this woudl be an awesome cartridge I would love to have to help my sister, who is a teacher.She is currently teaching her students on how to write stories. So cuts from this will help them develop stories,Thank you so smuch for the chance to winalicewong at telusplanet dot net

Oh the fun in my head that could come to life with this cartridge... My daughter lives in fairy tale land most of the time. It would be so much cheaper to make new princesses for her to play with. She could even design her own storybook to read again and again.

I would love this cartridge because I have a home daycare and I can use it for many craft activities, and make paper dolls for the kids to play with too. I am so enjoying your blog, I have already made the birthday party gift bags for my son's 8 yr birthday treat at school..they turned out so darned cute. I look forward to many more ideas from you.

Ohhh, I would love this. I am currently working on my Disney vacation album and this would be a great cart for that. Also, I have a 15 month old niece that is growing to be a princess herself. I would love to make some wonderful things for her with this cartridge.

awesome. this is a cartridge that is lower on my list. What can i do with my cartridges? well card and layouts are a given. but i have used it for posters for my son's school projects, to make stencils to do garage sale signs, and now stencils to alter my Menards tote

A birthday card would be what princes dawn would make. I have all boys so anything girl is not allowed in the house. lol. I am so no a girley girl cause of having all boys and what profession I chose. thanks for a chance of being a girl.

Besides making cards with my cartridges - my next favorite thing to use my cartrides for is 3-D projects. LOVE making Boxes with my cartridges! Thanks for the fabulous story Robyn-was delightful to read!

What a cute story. I think I would like to be in the tree hollow with the other girls, what fun! I have made a shamrock wreath with George before I got my Paper Dolls with the shamrock. Lately my cartridges have been helping daughters with all kinds of school assignments. So the Cricut is good for my soul and good for their grades. Thanks for the post.

I would love to spend time making the castle with my granddaughter. She loves to papercraft with her Grammy! We would have so much fun with that cartridge! Thanks for the chance to win!micheledotswanbergatmacdotcom

Robyn, I love your story. I have a daughter and 5 nieces so there are a lot of princesses in my life to make things for. I am also a princess at heart so would of course make a few things for myself too! :)

I would love to make a castle big enough to hide away inside of it so I could craft the night away!! Seriously, I would love to make my grandaughter who is getting ready to turn 1 an album using the shapes from the Princess cartridge. Thanks for the opportunity to win another great prize!! Happy Easter :)

LOL...Robyn, I just LOVE your stories! I was making all my little Easter goodies yesterday for all my favorite kids! Hope you have a blessed Easter!Thank you for all the giveaways!Tammi Spradlintammi@embroideredbasket.com

Loved your story. I could make cards and there is the little girl at church who loves princesses and i would love to make her a book so she can sit still at church and play papper doll princess and dream of all her wishes to come true. Hope to win. There are other princesses that i would love to create story books for. red467@juno.com

Ooooh my, but I've been waiting forever for Cricut to come up with a cartridge like this. I have 2 little girls who would spend all day dressing and playing like princesses if I let them. So I could use this cartridge for their scrapbooking pages - tons of pics. Also, their birthdays are coming up so of course this would come in soooo handy for those all important birthday party invites. Of course, there's also my nieces too so you know that I would have an endless stream of requests. My girls also love to craft so if they saw this, I'm sure I'd be very busy with playdates as well. I could go on and on cause the possibilities are endless. Thanks for the chance. Happy Easter and Hugs, Maria

Oh how fun! I have a little princess that would LOVE for her mommy to have this cartridge to make her all kinds of fun little goodies. We love pink and princesses around this house we would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have this cart

One of my friends just had her 2nd baby girl... Last Thursday! I would love to make her a baby ablum with this cartridge..My own dd is 12! This would be perfect for all the pages I have to catch up on! Such a girly girl I have:)

I always feel like a princess when I finish with a card and realize how creative I can be with the Cricut and ALL their cartridges.Thanks for the opportunity to win Once Upon a Princess. You are the best.

This cartridge is too cute. Wow - What can I do with my cricut? EVERYTHING! I am a card making addict but have just recently started making favors and goodies for my children's church kids. Thanks for the chance to win!

I don't even think I could pick just one thing that I would do with this adorable cartridge since I have a daughter who thinks she is a princess. =) I could make birthday invitations, thank you notes, LOs, the options are limitless. This is a great cartridge! Thanks!

Thanks again so much for another giveaway! I love crafting and have now had my Expression for just over a year. I used black vinyl to make a "sanitation station" sign for the cinderblock wall (the vinyl has stuck perfectly all year) in my preschool classroom and a pair of black vinyls "hands" as a visual aid for the lil ones. The other teachers loved it!

This cartridge looks so cute and I wanted it but never got a chance to buy it! I would love to make cards with this to give to my family, especially my little cousin who loves princesses so much she dresses like one everyday! Big poofy dresses and all! And I would love to make layouts with it! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

What an absolutely fabulous story! I loved it! I just won the new Veggie tales dvd and a chocolate cross this morning...lets see if I'm on a lucky streak! I can make lots and lots of memories with my cricut<3Angelaangieb1200 at gmail dot com

Cute story. I like making all kinds of things with my cricut. I can't wait to get this cartridge. Recently I made a 3D working Wheelbarrow with WIMG. I filled it full of chocolate and wheeled it away to a friend. I love my cricut.

If I had the once upon a princess cart i would make princess cards and treats for my friends' daughters. i think they would love getting cute little gifts in the mail. rosalynnsparklyprincessdaisy at yahoo dot com

That was the CUTEST story ever! I would seriously cry if someone stole my expression! haha. I do alot with my cartridges. I made my own wedding invitations as well as many cards to give to people. I've also made many scrapbooks for my nieces and nephews and once i finish my wedding scrapbook, i plan on making one for my cousin's kids. I also have lots of plans to make card sets for Christmas gifts this year! :) Thanks for the great story and of course the great opportunity to win!! :)

One of my daughters and her children do scrapbooking and I am always looking for things to surprise them with when I make cards for them that they can put into their scrapbooking work! Some day when I am gone they will tell their children about the work in their books and who did it! ME! Jeananne jrtherunks42@yahoo.com

Would love to have this for my "little princess" who's now a tween & doesn't want to admit she's still a princess. :-) Recently I've been making cards - lots and lots of cards. I don't know how our family ended up with so many March/April birthdays & anniversaries.

Thanks for the cute story! And chance to win! I would LOVE to have this cartridge! I only have three cartridges (they are a little spendy for us) this cartridge would give me a lot more opportunities!! jill_marie2007@hotmail.com

OMGosh what an adorable story! When's the book coming out!? It would make a wonderful children's book! Just think of all the neat pages you could do with your cricut! All ilustrated with your cricut. You really should think about that as your next adventure, I think it would be a "Bestseller"! And you could continue and have a series! TFSmccadesmom at gmail dot com

Oh, what a cute story! I would love to win this cart to use for my grandaughter! I make almost everything with my Cricut..my most recent is a frame for my grandsons nursery. You can check it out here...www.mrsbscraftroom.blogspot.comThanks for the chance to win!Have a wonderful April Fools day!CindyB

My little brother (not so young anymore) had a very special stuffed animal as a child and my mom made him a shadowbox with pictures of him and "Oscar" and mementos. She needed words and picture frames for the shadowbox and we used my cricut cartridges to decorate the shadowbox. I also use it for cards.

Hey Robyn, Where do you come up with this stuff? Maybe you could write stories too and publish them tooo cute. I would love to win the once upon a princess for my granddaughter because she thinks she's a princess and she has a birthday coming up in July and the sweet things I can come up with for a princess party.
